GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) The Scorpio Moon shows you that life is full of surprises, Gemini. Don't be afraid to get out and explore new worlds today!

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might have a fight on your hands if you dare to challenge someone in a position of authority today, Cancer. Is it really worth it?

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) As the Moon makes its way through the house of Scorpio, this is the perfect time for you to purchase items that allow you to communicate better. Computer equipment is preferred.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) A deep and meaningful conversation with a friend or partner leaves you feeling like you never really knew him or her. Clear up any misunderstandings immediately.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Although you've been working hard, this isn't the best day to ask for a raise or a promotion. Wait until the boss is in a more accommodating mood to make your move.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) The Moon is in Scorpio, and someone from a different culture challenges your way of thinking today. Keep an open mind, and you might learn something new.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) It's time to stop living in the past, Pisces. Make peace with your mistakes and get ready to move into the future. Your destiny awaits.

YOU BORN TODAY: Communication is of the essence, so don't be afraid to reveal your true feelings, albeit tactfully, to others. Procrastination will get you nowhere, so start acting on your impulses and brilliant ideas immediately. Remember to make yourself vulnerable at times; it will keep you humble.
